Galatians 4
1 And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant — being lord of all,
ahaM vadAmi sampadadhikArI yAvad bAlastiShThati tAvat sarvvasvasyAdhipatiH sannapi sa dAsAt kenApi viShayeNa na vishiShyate
2 but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,
kintu pitrA nirUpitaM samayaM yAvat pAlakAnAM dhanAdhyakShANA ncha nighnastiShThati|
3 so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,
tadvad vayamapi bAlyakAle dAsA iva saMsArasyAkSharamAlAyA adhInA Asmahe|
4 and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,
anantaraM samaye sampUrNatAM gatavati vyavasthAdhInAnAM mochanArtham
5 that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;
asmAkaM putratvaprAptyartha ncheshvaraH striyA jAtaM vyavasthAyA adhinIbhUta ncha svaputraM preShitavAn|
6 and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'
yUyaM santAnA abhavata tatkAraNAd IshvaraH svaputrasyAtmAnAM yuShmAkam antaHkaraNAni prahitavAn sa chAtmA pitaH pitarityAhvAnaM kArayati|
7 so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
ata idAnIM yUyaM na dAsAH kintuH santAnA eva tasmAt santAnatvAchcha khrIShTeneshvarIyasampadadhikAriNo. apyAdhve|
8 But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,
apara ncha pUrvvaM yUyam IshvaraM na j nAtvA ye svabhAvato. anIshvarAsteShAM dAsatve. atiShThata|
9 and now, having known God — and rather being known by God — how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?
idAnIm IshvaraM j nAtvA yadi veshvareNa j nAtA yUyaM kathaM punastAni viphalAni tuchChAni chAkSharANi prati parAvarttituM shaknutha? yUyaM kiM punasteShAM dAsA bhavitumichChatha?
10 days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!
yUyaM divasAn mAsAn tithIn saMvatsarAMshcha sammanyadhve|
11 I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.
yuShmadarthaM mayA yaH parishramo. akAri sa viphalo jAta iti yuShmAnadhyahaM bibhemi|
12 Become as I [am] — because I also [am] as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,
he bhrAtaraH, ahaM yAdR^isho. asmi yUyamapi tAdR^ishA bhavateti prArthaye yato. ahamapi yuShmattulyo. abhavaM yuShmAbhi rmama kimapi nAparAddhaM|
13 and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,
pUrvvamahaM kalevarasya daurbbalyena yuShmAn susaMvAdam aj nApayamiti yUyaM jAnItha|
14 and my trial that [is] in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me — as Christ Jesus;
tadAnIM mama parIkShakaM shArIrakleshaM dR^iShTvA yUyaM mAm avaj nAya R^itIyitavantastannahi kintvIshvarasya dUtamiva sAkShAt khrIShTa yIshumiva vA mAM gR^ihItavantaH|
15 what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;
atastadAnIM yuShmAkaM yA dhanyatAbhavat sA kka gatA? tadAnIM yUyaM yadi sveShAM nayanAnyutpATya mahyaM dAtum ashakShyata tarhi tadapyakariShyateti pramANam ahaM dadAmi|
16 so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?
sAmpratamahaM satyavAditvAt kiM yuShmAkaM ripu rjAto. asmi?
17 they are zealous for you — [yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;
te yuShmatkR^ite sparddhante kintu sA sparddhA kutsitA yato yUyaM tAnadhi yat sparddhadhvaM tadarthaM te yuShmAn pR^ithak karttum ichChanti|
18 and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;
kevalaM yuShmatsamIpe mamopasthitisamaye tannahi, kintu sarvvadaiva bhadramadhi sparddhanaM bhadraM|
19 my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,
he mama bAlakAH, yuShmadanta ryAvat khrIShTo mUrtimAn na bhavati tAvad yuShmatkAraNAt punaH prasavavedaneva mama vedanA jAyate|
20 and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.
ahamidAnIM yuShmAkaM sannidhiM gatvA svarAntareNa yuShmAn sambhAShituM kAmaye yato yuShmAnadhi vyAkulo. asmi|
21 Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?
he vyavasthAdhInatAkA NkShiNaH yUyaM kiM vyavasthAyA vachanaM na gR^ihlItha?
22 for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,
tanmAM vadata| likhitamAste, ibrAhImo dvau putrAvAsAte tayoreko dAsyAM dvitIyashcha patnyAM jAtaH|
23 but he who [is] of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who [is] of the free-woman, through the promise;
tayo ryo dAsyAM jAtaH sa shArIrikaniyamena jaj ne yashcha patnyAM jAtaH sa pratij nayA jaj ne|
24 which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;
idamAkhyAnaM dR^iShTantasvarUpaM| te dve yoShitAvIshvarIyasandhI tayorekA sInayaparvvatAd utpannA dAsajanayitrI cha sA tu hAjirA|
25 for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude with her children,
yasmAd hAjirAshabdenAravadeshasthasInayaparvvato bodhyate, sA cha varttamAnAyA yirUshAlampuryyAH sadR^ishI| yataH svabAlaiH sahitA sA dAsatva Aste|
26 and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,
kintu svargIyA yirUshAlampurI patnI sarvveShAm asmAkaM mAtA chAste|
27 for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many [are] the children of the desolate — more than of her having the husband.'
yAdR^ishaM likhitam Aste, "vandhye santAnahIne tvaM svaraM jayajayaM kuru| aprasUte tvayollAso jayAshabdashcha gIyatAM| yata eva sanAthAyA yoShitaH santate rgaNAt| anAthA yA bhavennArI tadapatyAni bhUrishaH||"
28 And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,
he bhrAtR^igaNa, imhAk iva vayaM pratij nayA jAtAH santAnAH|
29 but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;
kintu tadAnIM shArIrikaniyamena jAtaH putro yadvad Atmikaniyamena jAtaM putram upAdravat tathAdhunApi|
30 but what saith the Writing? 'Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;'
kintu shAstre kiM likhitaM? "tvam imAM dAsIM tasyAH putra nchApasAraya yata eSha dAsIputraH patnIputreNa samaM nottarAdhikArI bhaviyyatIti|"
31 then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's.
ataeva he bhrAtaraH, vayaM dAsyAH santAnA na bhUtvA pAtnyAH santAnA bhavAmaH|
